Are transmission oil leaks common in Changan Kalam, especially in older models o r high-mileage vehicles across Pakistan?

Owners report visible oil spots under the vehicle. Is the transmission seal prone to damage o r is the oil drain plug poorly fitted?

✅ Yes — oil leaks from the gearbox are reported.

Common sources:

Weak o r improperly sealed gaskets

Loose oil drain plugs

Worn-out axle seals

Especially prevalent in:

Hot regions like Sindh

High-load usage, which puts more strain on seals

🛢️ Owners often see oil spots under parked vehicles, and low transmission oil can lead to gear damage o r overheating.
